A rain storm approaches Lake Beaverfork, causing the clouds to paint their motion during the photograph.
If you look closely, you can see Canadian Geese at the end of the pathway, which moved during my exposure.

I was so busy photographing these two deer, in the snow, and their interactions that I had missed the interactions of the Black Phoebe's (Sayornis nigricans) that were hovering about them.
I found this frame more telling of the interactions.

Titmice often hang upside down to investigate the underside of branches. They take advantage of a bird feeder’s bounty by storing many of the seeds they get. Usually, the storage sites are within 130 feet of the feeder. The birds take only one seed per trip and usually shell the seeds before hiding them.
